I have spent the last few hours on the phone calling different companies asking them how to acclimate a shrimp. My earlier post about how my shrimp died and the lfs owner said it was because my water was poor, she tested it and it was perfect. So she said I acclimated wrong. I acclimated according to the instructions on this site.
I got several different answers... Her answer was only 30 minutes, another guy said float for 10 minutes then pick it up by hand and put it in.
I did the whole acclimation of 2 1/2 hours and she claims he got cold and died.
So... I am about to buy some more shrimp, I think from here... I am feeling a little chicken since I practically threw 40 bucks in the trash.
What is the right way to acclimate shrimp.
